It worked. I had to see it.
I don't really follow chess personalities, but this current situation is pretty interesting. So when the video of Magnus playing drunk and now throwing marshmallows surfaced, I saw a lighter side of him I didn't know exists.
context: EURO football (soccer) cup 2016
funniest thing is, the reporter has no clue he got the chess WC in front of the mic, he thinks it's just a random drunk football fan

Magnus is afraid because he knows Hans is the new Bobby Fischer
It is pretty normal , Hans plays as a machine
Niemann Will be the GOAT of chess in the Next decade if he is capable to play 2-3 games every 10 games making 100% perfect moves

If Hans is telling the truth then he already is the goat, otherwise he's still a cheetah.

Huh -- let me see if I get this Craig. This site has already confirmed to Hans that his statements on how often or how much he claims to have cheated do not correlate with the information they have. We also have to remember that there are money prizes involved in some of the games. All that there is left here is for Hans to acknowledge and see if he can draw the line and accept that his reputation will be blemished for a little while (Like a long while)

I could only take it as ironic, suggesting that cheating in 20-30% of games would turn a second tier pro into a world best. It could work if the opposition was strong enough (making those extra wins more valuable).

Isn't that what people are worried about?
Hans Niemann's average centi-pawn loss was consistent since his rating was 2300 through 2700, which is a strong indication of cheating.

Is it?
First of all the graph isn't flat, and secondly it should also depend on the types of positions you're getting. You'd have to run this program for many players before you know what to expect.
